Default Retro Hid Projector issue....

Just got a set of Retros painted hid projector quad headlights with the switchback turn signals,sweet work,btw: the issue im having is everything works fine for a few minutes , then the passanger headlight goes out, and if i plug it out and plug it in or shut it off and turn it on again it comes on again, then goes out, any ideas, everything is tight and grounds are solid, and i used dielectric grease in all the plugs.

Sounds like you might have a bad HID box. Try swapping the left with the right, if it follows the problem with the opposite side, you`ll know its the HID box. If it dosent change your problem, then i`d be looking at the bulb, if not the bulb, then look into the TIPM or possible wiring having an issue.

Just curious... who did the lights for you and what did they cost you if you dont mind me asking. Do you have any pics..?
